Trump has reinstated the “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran’s economy that he initiated during his first term as Washington seeks to pressure Tehran to negotiate over its nuclear program. Araghchi’s comments came three days after Trump called for “direct talks” with Tehran, saying they were “faster” and offered a better understanding than using intermediaries. “We must put pressure on Russia, which chooses to kill children instead of a cease-fire,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address. “We must introduce additional sanctions against those who cannot exist without ballistic strikes on neighboring people.” “Unfortunately, the response from the US Embassy is surprisingly disappointing — such a strong country, such a strong people, and yet such a weak reaction,” Zelenskyy wrote on social media. Brink had said in a social media post that she was “horrified” by the strike that also injured at least 74 others, saying “this is why the war must end.”

Even before the announcement, Netanyahu was virtually certain he would not be detained during his four-day visit. The last US soldier missing in Lithuania was found dead on April 1, ending a massive weeklong search for the four service members whose armored vehicle was pulled from a swampy training area, the US military said. “Their readiness to be with us, as they say, in a difficult neighborhood, is the best proof of who our friends are today,” Nauseda told reporters. Navalny died in February last year in a remote Russian prison while serving a 19-year prison term on charges many said were retribution for his pursuit of corruption around President Vladimir Putin.
